What sort of home can you afford?

Before you set off house hunting, it’s a good idea to know how much money you have to spend and where it is all going to come from.

To help you work this out, take a look at the following:

• Mortgages
• Deposits

There are also some other costs involved in buying homes so you’ll need to make sure you’ve got enough money to cover these too.

• Surveys
• Legal fees
• Stamp Duty Land Tax

If you’d like to buy your own place but after looking at all the above information, don’t think you can afford it, have a look at the following:

• Right to Buy
• Shared ownership
• Key Worker Living
